The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.
Tips on economical use
■Always fill the appliance with the maximum amount of laundry for each programme.
~ "/ Overview of programmes" on page 16
■Wash normally soiled laundry without prewash.
■For light and normal soiling in laundry, you can save energy and detergent. ~ Page 15
■Dosing the detergent using the intelligent dosing system (i-Dos) helps to save both detergent and water.
■The selectable temperatures apply to the care labels on the textiles. The temperatures in the machine may deviate from this so that you get the optimum mix of energy-saving and washing results.
■Information on energy and water consumption: ~ Page 12
The displays provide information about the relative level of energy and water consumption in the selected programmes.
The more display segments are visible, the higher the respective consumption.
This enables you to compare the consumption levels of the different programmes when choosing your programme settings and decide on an energyand water-saving programme setting.
–§ Energy consumption
–w Water consumption
■Energy-saving mode: The display panel lighting goes out after a few minutes and the Ü button flashes. Press any button to activate the lighting.
Energy-saving mode is not activated if a programme is running.
■Automatic switch off: If the appliance is not operated for a prolonged period, it may automatically switch off before the programme starts and when the programme has ended to save energy. Press the main switch again to switch on the appliance.
